Casting to Chromecast sucks with this app. The player doesn't stay up or connected. It doesn't pick up where you left off. At the end of an episode instead of playing the next one it just repeats the one that just played. Would also love an option to adjust speed to 1.25 or 1.5x. Sometimes it just stops playing all together and shuts off in the middle. Ads are frequent and annoying, not something you'd expect for $25 a month. I will definitely not be continuing my membership after the free week.

Hi Jessica, we don't insert extra ad breaks into the network's content but you can Save (+) anything you're interested in watching to your unlimited DVR. Once your Saved shows have been recorded, you can skip the ads & get back to watching! For help with Chromecast, please give us a buzz at 855-CS-PHILO or by visiting philo.com/contact

The application performs exceptionally well on the Fire TV platform. However, there are a few areas where the user interface could be improved, such as adding dedicated sections for video-on-demand content. As a paying customer, my primary concern is the inability to utilize the application on my S24 Ultra device due to consistent force closures. The ability to watch content during breaks would be a valuable feature. Despite these issues, the application offers great value for its price point.

Hi Oogie, we appreciate your feedback about VOD sorting! You can skip the breaks by Saving (+) anything you're interested in watching to your unlimited DVR. You should also be able to enjoy Philo on your S24 Ultra without interruption as long as you're using OS 5 & up! For assistance, feel free to reach out to us philo.com/contact

This is a near perfect solution for cutting the cord for me. I literally cut my bill over 50% just buy using this app. It's one of a few apps that had all the channels I actually watch, History, Science, Discovery, and A&E. A couple of things I would love to see happen in the future is to be able to easily browse the guide while the current channel is in the background. I would also like the description in the guide to show the release date along side of the season and episode # for live TV.
